Martin Truex Jr. – Martin Truex Jr. has limited fantasy value in the New Hampshire Sylvania 300. In three of the last four Loudon races he’s finished either 16th or 17th. His one finish not in that range was an 11th in last July’s race. Recent trends like his mid pack mediocrity can’t be overlooked. […]

Kurt Busch – Kurt Busch had a great car at New Hampshire earlier this year. Following practice I hailed him as my #1 confidence ranking pick. I wouldn’t argue that prediction was wrong despite his 31st place finish. What happened to him is that on lap #224 him and Newman were involved in a wreck […]

Jimmie Johnson – It’s hard to go wrong if Jimmie Johnson is your fantasy pick for the New Hampshire Sylvania 300. He started in a big hole at New Hampshire earlier this year after his qualifying result was disallowed. As a result he started in 43rd. That’s a serious problem at tracks like New Hampshire […]

1. Matt Kenseth – Matt Kenseth is a driver who you can confidently make your fantasy pick for the Chicagoland Geico 400. This season on 1.5 mile tracks he’s consistently been the driver to beat. In the six races on tracks of this length he has three wins, the best driver rating, led the most […]

PROS is an acronym for Projected Ranking Of Strength. What’s projected in this post is how good drivers were the last time they raced at Chicagoland (2012). In fantasy racing you can’t just look at a drivers finish position and believe that’s how good they were. Things happen in races and the PROS Rankings take […]

Aric Almirola – Last year at Chicagoland Aric Almirola made his debut at this venue. I was impressed especially early in the race. He started in 2nd, led the first 3 laps but was wrongfully penalized by NASCAR during the first round of pit stops. That dropped him deep in the field and he was […]

Clint Bowyer – Clint Bowyer has been Mr. Consistent at Chicagoland and is my top fantasy NASCAR Front Runner Ranking driver. He’s raced here seven times and has finished in the top ten in every race but one. Minus his non-top ten result he has a 8.2 average finish. Also in his Chicagoland races minus […]

Matt Kenseth – Matt Kenseth is a good pick for the Chicagoland Geico 400. He’s been one of the drivers to beat every time the series visits a 1.5 mile track. On tracks of this length this season he’s won half the races, earned the best driver rating (118.5), led the most laps (355) and […]

1. Clint Bowyer – Clint Bowyer is a driver who you can confidently pick at Richmond for the Federated Auto Parts 400. Shorter flat tracks like Richmond are the venues where his fantasy value is the highest. Richmond has been a great track for Clint Bowyer throughout his career. He’s a two-time winner who most […]

Brian Vickers – Brian Vickers does have sleeper pick / dark horse potential in the Richmond Federated Auto Parts 400 but picking him can be risky. That’s why I’m ranking him as a Mid Pack Prediction driver. His average finish is a lowly 25.5. Earlier this year Brian Vickers drove the #11 at Richmond. He […]

Joey Logano – SLEEPER ALERT! In the Richmond Federated Auto Parts 400 I think Logano has dark horse sleeper potential. His overall track record is pretty bad here. That alone will keep many people away. Prior to moving to Penske he only had one top ten finish and his three most recent results in the […]

Clint Bowyer – Clint Bowyer is a safe reliable fantasy pick for the Richmond Federated Auto Parts 400. Venues like this are where I trust him the most and his fantasy value is the highest. In 15 races at Richmond he has two wins, 9 top fives and has finished in the top twelve 86.6% […]
